Some are saying that if Kayla had only stayed in the civilized world under Israel’s direct control, i.e. Israel and its Occupied Territories, that Kayla would be alive today. I am livid. What blinders these people wear. How callously indifferent they are to the suffering of Palestinians and Kayla Mueller’s grieving family.

Nathan Guttman over at The Forward has an exclusive you’re gonna love.

It appears that Adelson has chosen… drumroll please… none other than David Borg, (Jewish) head of the Christian Zionist “Christians United For Israel” (CUFI) to head the Campus Maccabees’ anti-BDS drive!

That’s right, a leading apologist for crackpot Pastor John Hagee is going to crush BDS forces on the nation’s campuses! Or so Sheldon Adelson imagines. The rest of us can easily picture liberal Zionist students running and screaming the other way –toward the pro-BDS camp.

“As a side note, I would never ever give up my American citizenship. Unlike Oren (and talknic) I don’t consider Israel “our Jewish state”. I love the United States. ”
